Cannot build from source,

[FrostKnight]

Nitrokey-app 1.4.2 and 1.4.1 do not build from source with make, I have used both qmake and cmake methods and both times it gives me some weird error:

../src/ui/mainwindow.cpp:505:34: fatal error: cppcodec/hex_upper.hpp: No such file or directory

include <cppcodec/hex_upper.hpp>

I have all libraries that I know of... except maybe catch2, not sure if that's needed or where that goes in the files if it is needed.

• Issue always

  Expected behaviour

I can build 1.4.0 easily, its just 1.4.1 and past...

Are the tar.gz/tar/zips and source code missing certain things?

Still using Hyperbola, in a few months it will upgrade a bunch of things to more updated packages,

Although I am curious why versions 1.4.0 and before I can build easily enough but not 1.4.1 or 1.4.2.

Is there any benefit to updating?

Hi! This looks like the submodules were not initialized. Could you run the below in the root directory and check again?

git submodules update --init --recursive

I just tried both in the root directory and the build directory, neither worked. Although, git was being a bit odd, and submodules wasn't a command, submodule was however... and that didn't seem to work either.

got this error though anyways:

fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /home) Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DIS[user@host[user@user nitrokey-app]$ git submodule update --init --recursive

Tried a few times now, I am a bit confused though.

Indeed it should have been submodule. I see. You need to clone this repository to build the application since the zip archive with the source code does not contain the git submodules.

Please try this one:

git clone https://github.com/Nitrokey/nitrokey-app.git --recursive

Edit: this will make a fresh copy of the source in the nitrokey-app directory.

Edit: about update benefits, since 1.4.0 there was only a UI change, specifically decreasing height of the main window to fit smaller screens. More about it below:

Ah, thank you, yes I have almost everything fixed at the moment... Now I just need to track down why this happened:
error while loading shared libraries: libhidapi-libusb.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Odd it is, since I have hidapi installed. hmm... so far so good though!

Nevermind, I got it now, hidapi's newer version has some conflicts at the moment... I used my distro's older one and it works. Solved I would say.
